Dalvin Cook Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will look to build off a solid, if unspectacular, Week 1 performance against the Packers this week against the Colts. Cook racked up only 50 rushing yards but punched in two touchdowns in the season opener. Cook can break loose at any moment but will go up against a Colts Defense that allowed only three rushing touchdowns to opposing backs last season. Look for Cook to exceed the 12 touches he saw in Week 1, and he should be in line to post RB1 numbers in Week 2.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 12 times for 50 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings 43-34 loss to the Packers in Week 1. It was tough sledding at times for the dynamic runner but still converted on two short-yardage chances for two scores. Cook was the touches timeshare over teammate Alexander Mattison 12-6 but the Vikings offense just couldn't keep up with the Packers explosive attack. Cook should see a heavier workload in Week 2.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook agreed to terms on a five-year, $63 million deal on Saturday. The deal includes $28 million in guaranteed money for Cook, who made his first Pro Bowl last year after totaling a career-high 1654 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns. It's interesting that the team was willing to commit to such a deal after just 29 games played from Cook in three seasons, though his talent is undeniable when healthy. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief that the deal is done ahead of Cook's juicy Week 1 matchup against Green Bay.
